Might end up being the biggest test he has faced in his whole career to date.
This race is a stepping stone for many and as such they will be ready for a run but not fully wound up so there is an opportunity to take advantage of that fact but it might also depend on how fit Hendo has him – not sure why he would leave much to work on as this (or the Windsor race had he run in that) is an acid test for him which will dictate where they go next.
As we have seen before, much bigger priced winners can upset the apple cart so while I think he would be doing well to get within a few lengths of a (probably 80% fit) G1 winning horse, stranger things can (and do) happen.
